What does the larger space allow Chaucer to do that he cannot so easily do in shorter works, like the Canterbury Tales?

Consider the length of Troilus and Criseyde (I know some of you already have, but now I
want you to consider it analytically!)
What does the larger space allow Chaucer to do that he
cannot so easily do in shorter works, like the Canterbury Tales? In
what ways does the poem
emphasize process, and how does length contribute to that emphasis? Again, choose several
passages and analyze them closely to make your argument.

***Make sure that your essay actually addresses the question and
is not off topic. Second, make sure that you are not simply giving a plot summary but that you
are performing the analysis that the question asks you to do. Third, have a clear thesis statement.
Your thesis statement should be the first sentence of your essay, and it should present a clear
argument (the point that you are going to prove in your essay). Fourth, have clear and
appropriate topic sentences. A topic sentence is the first sentence of each paragraph. Each one
should have an argument; each one should relate back to and develop the thesis statement in
some important way while also telling us what point is going to be proven in that paragraph.
Each paragraph should develop one and only one point. Fifth, use textual evidence to support
your claims. Make sure that by the end of your paragraph, you have proven the point that you set
out to prove in your topic sentence.***
